Xev,

Make sure you are connected to internet. If u are using any firewall softwares, add WCG to the exception list so that traffic is allowed. Lastly, if u are using any proxy, you have to configure WCG proxy options found in the (advanced view) Advanced-options-http proxy.

Yessir! With your i7 @ 4ghz your production will be outstanding How did you setup your CPU usage (cores and percent)?

Oh, and you did join the TPU Team, right?

If you do not have the CPU usage set to 100% it will cycle between full load and idle to get to your desired %. So for example, if under options for CPU usage you say 50% the client will run 100% for one second then 0% the next for an average of 50% Usage. I prefer to run it 100%, when another program needs the cycles the low priority WCG program will take a backseat.

Just run it whenever you have the time or feel like it. You can scroll to the right in the manager and you will see when the deadlines are for the Workunits you are working on. If you have any questions feel free to PM me or post up here, there are a lot of experienced members here that can help.
